Maybe that's just bad luck on my part for getting the bad motor of the bunch, but after playing music for 12 years, the pitch difference is super noticable to me to where it's extrememely bothersome, at least a half step high

not one that there's an easy fix for - repair is prohibitively expensive, and while the motor is cheap to replace ($5), it's very hard to do yourself

I bought this turntable, and right out of the box it had a bad motor

This may mean it really needs a belt upgrade, or maybe it just has a weak motor.

a motor that spins the platter at 34 RPM is unacceptable

The platter is a decent weight and the motor is silent
